        Policies between BlueMAGA and RedMAGA are practically identical, if you want to live in another dimension where the global south gets any benefit from any of the two flavours of the same party ruling you’re delusional and should stop pretending. BlueMAGA supports the apartheid entity, blue maga supports immigration detainment and imprisonment, blue maga supports imperialists wars, i could go on. It’s all theatre for folks like you pretending to be against the fascists. They’re two different flavours of fascisms, one for the ones who embrace it and another for the people who’re afraid to say they’re fascists.

          I feel like we fundamentally differ on one thing, that people can grow and change their opinion. I believe this is an inflection point. And you can use it to further challenge someone’s ideas. You use every opportunity you get to grow your base of support.

          Does that mean you’ll get burnt by someone, yeah, but you gotta try, otherwise there’s no point. That’s my 2 cents.

            I agree people should recruit from these radicalizing moments. I don’t believe for a second that the vast majority of protestors are open or willing to learn and oppose capitalism and imperialism, but even if 1-5% want to and they’re willing to listen to us then those are definitely welcome.

              I agree vast majority will go back to business as usual. But 3% growth is pretty substantial. It’s more than the 0 if we didn’t even try.
